"सागर किनारे रेत का घरोंदा बनाता इंसान
फिर लहरों में उन्हें ढहेता देखता इंसान
जाने क्या सोच कर फिर से लकीर खेचता इंसान,
चूड़ी की तरह छन् से टूटता इंसान
फिर खुद की ही राख में खुद को ढूंढता इंसान
परिंदे की तरह फिर उसी खाख में से जिंदा होता इंसान,
कुछ तो सोचता हैं शायद, तभी तो हर पल हैं झूझता इंसान,
फिर से देखो रेत पर लकीर खीच रहा इंसान,
सागर किनारे रेत का घरोंदा बनाता इंसान"
After a Long time, I revisited myself through these lines...wrote them few years back when I first stepped on a Beach in Mumbai, and then instantly fell in Love with that City.
Those were the most beautiful days of my life (up till now), Lot of Fun...total Lukhagiri....and also exposure to the real world.
Now I have to Work, can’t study more (saala enthu nahi karta), and tats why living in a place named as Jharsuguda, Don’t know why am I here...tried to be as far as possible from Manufacturing sector (by opting Computer Science as engineering stream over core branches...although I had zero percent interest in CS, then did my MBA (mktg.) to escape from simple coding Job, and also wished to be in sales for my complete life...and also in Mumbai too....)
But Fate struck its Blow, and Destiny Conspiracy got the success...and here I am stuck in Jharsuguda, working in Manufacturing Sector, and that too in SCM (Operations).
But Interesting aspect is that I love my job (I am Serious....), and hate the Location....
During my complete study phase...I always believed in Party Harder concept....but there is no scope of doing the same.
When I joined the group...I was the least experienced person in the Project, now I am the most Experienced Buyer as far as this project (Largest Single Location Aluminium Smelter in World) is concerned. So you can just imagine the Attrition rate (more than 20 People left the Company in span of 2 Years, and total Size of Team is only 7-9 People)
But my hard Luck, even after trying hard, I am still waiting for an alternate opportunity to make a switch.
People who had less experience than me also get an opportunity, but no one consider me good enough...although my company knows my Value, that’s why rate me as an excellent employee and also promotes me in span of one year after confirmation. They award me ESOP’s and strengthens the Exit barrier for me.
Above scenario actually frustrates me...and the most beautiful thing happened to me, that is I got engaged, to a most precious Gem of this World.
She came as a cool Breeze in my Life....and now I am more eager to move out of Hell,
I don’t want her to struggle even for a second, how she would react to lifestyle of this town...I am not sure of..
But, don’t know when the tide will turn in my favour, People in Group now recognise me, I have a face value in this group due to my Hard work, and this is the right time to be in the group and grow as a professional, but should I sacrifice Luxuries in hope of better career???
Anyway, Let’s see how things turn up....but ya above lines do motivate me to keep on trying no matter what the situation is, I would find a way out....
Right Now....LOVE is in AIR.....and I am loving the Experience....
People Fall in Love, but this one motivates me to Rise.....
Hmmm..... nice nice! :)
ReplyDeleteIts always being in hell that giveS u the feeling of how beautiful the world outside is.. i dont mean hell in its literal sense.. (though i quite enjoy being in it occassionally)
Its good to see u finally write about love.. more importantly "write".. wow!!
Hi Ankur,
ReplyDeleteGreat start.. keep posting.. may be we also get motivated from your writing..
Being your "Bhaaya" (Elder Brother), wanted the first one to comment.. never mind..
Dont Worry Be Happy :-)
All the Best !!
Dude.... donno wat to say. I really miss the days we spent together & never thought that would end up in 3 different locations so early; gurgaon, nasik & JHARU..K....
ReplyDeleteI really pray to God for some miracle to happen in ur life & u get out of the literal HELL!!! Time will come & u will smile too along with ur sweetheart :-)
Its good to c ur feelings for Monika which is going to be the real strength for quitting & take a bold step in ur career barring the ESOP thing!!
ALL THE BEST bro and look forward to see u soon somewhere nearby FOREVER ;) Take care, Be good. Ur friend, Puneet..
hey dear..finally after lng time got to read something written by you...have u used tht diary..i am really looking forward to read more and more...
ReplyDeleteand dnt worry abt monika she will be fine anywhere with u coz u r such a luvng chap....
baaki hum sab toh all time hai na pakane ke liye usse waha nahin hai toh kya, yaha se hi paka dengein.
even i fell in love with mumbai whn stepped in those beaches wth u, coz i could c the place from ur eyes, and then realised how beautiful it is.
keep writing i always luv to read it.
my dear... the day she will be with you all your solitude will be vanished. I know, a person like you who lives life to its fullest must be finding it very difficult to cope up with the loneliness and seclusion of this place especially after experiencing the thrilling and lively life in Mumbai... Man you must be freaking out! and on the top of that you got engaged (doooriii dooorii sahi jaye naa..) Now, the anticipation to see her and meet her once again and take her to your life forever must be killing you more... (who else will know this better agh!)
ReplyDeletebut dont worry these harsh days will fly away soon and when she will be with you, you will not be able to keep the count of the mins, hours days and even months how they would just fly by... and dont worry about her, time will not bother her, Initial few days will be easy and afterwards they will be easier. She'll fall short of time.. waiting for you??? :) (such a nice feeling hunn?) No... I tell you how,
buy her a phone with unlimited talk time, a laptop/PC with internet connection, books of her interest and find out some classes/courses she would like to join before she comes, a credit card so that she can shop online and give her a list of your favourite dishes that should be a bit complicated so now her day will be spent in searching for a good recipe and its preparations (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw5arTc26-0) :), leave the responsibility of planning a weekend on her and take her to nearby places every weekend, even if its not a very exotic place, enjoy the beauty of nature, go to the woods just hang out as much as you can.
and last but not the least its you who can keep her happy not the place if its worth your success.
Love is in the air sirji..
pata nahi kya-kya likh diya sambhal lena hehehe
take care
keep writing and keep inspiring others to write as well
Gud one bhai.....last few years of ur life described in such a perfect way.... specially tht poem of urs...gud work......:)

ReplyDeletelove in the air ... haan.
My love, thanks a lot for such a special introduction of mine...i m blessed to have u in my lyf....
ReplyDeletend believe me ur presence in my lyf has added so much of brightness and happiness tat it feels lyk m walking but my feet doesnt seem to touch the ground....
nd let me tell u one thng tat apart from being a nice person, u r very caring, truly rich at heart, neva show of what u have...i m more than happy being with u now and forever & the thngs lyk location and luxuries have less meaning....
May u shine in lyf like the sun and brighten the world with ur aura.....
keep smiling...luv nd luck...tc
Dear , youa re dear to everyone because you are a being which is probably the rarest kind
ReplyDeletethe luxury is not in Mumbai , but if you will work on introspecting u will find your luxuries within you. Same will exist in your relation with your beloved dear.The existence of the relation has made you realise the beauty and the existence of the beloved just next to you will wash away all the sounds of the bells which you dont know are alarm bells or something else .
GOD exists.....................between two people . love it and love it more.
Arre tu bhabhi aur mumbai ke bahane mujhe miss kar raha hai. Itna bhi intense mat ho yaar log galat samjh lenge main to already vivahit hoon.
ReplyDeleteMiss you too
